A criminal investigation is underway in Massachusetts after a man crashed an SUV into an Apple Store on Monday, killing one person and injuring 16. The crash happened about 10:45 a.m. EST at the Derby Street Shops in Hingham, about 16 miles southeast of downtown Boston.  The deceased victim was identified as Kevin Bradley, 65, of New Jersey, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz said that the driver’s vehicle, a dark-colored SUV, drove through a plate glass window at the front of the store and struck several people, pinning some of them against the wall. Said Cruz: “There were people with numerous injuries inside the store. Right now family members are being notified. Needlessly to say, employees working within that store and nearby are visibly shaken. This morning was an unthinkable morning and people are trying to get through it and process what happened. We are very limited as to what we can say at this point.”

Hingham Fire Chief Steve Murphy said seven fire trucks and 14 ambulances responded to the scene, with victims transported to South Shore and Boston hospitals. Bystanders rendered first aid to some of those injured, said Murphy.

Officials investigating quadruple homicide after hostage situation in Oklahoma

Authorities are investigating after four people were found shot dead and one wounded at a marijuana farm in northwest Oklahoma following a reported hostage situation. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) said in a statement that the agency was investigating what has been described as a quadruple homicide at the request of the Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies received a call around 7:45 p.m. Sunday about a suspected hostage situation unfolding on a 10-acre marijuana farm on North 2760 Road west of Hennessey, about 55 miles northwest of Oklahoma City. Responding officers found four people dead from apparent gunshot wounds and one injured. The surviving victim was taken to a hospital in undisclosed condition, according to a statement from the OSBI.

Kingfisher County Sheriff Dennis Banther said that a warrant was issued late Monday morning for the arrest of a suspect in the quadruple homicide. Banther said the suspect and five victims have ties to the farm, and that the deadly shooting stemmed from an internal dispute and was not a random act of violence.

The suspect and the victims had not been identified as of Monday; and the suspect remained at large as of Monday afternoon.

Denver Broncos waive veteran running back Melvin Gordon

shutterstock_1310562482

The Denver Broncos announced on Monday that they have waived veteran running back Melvin Gordon; if Gordon goes unclaimed on waivers, he will then become a free agent.

Gordon has struggled to protect the ball throughout the season, most recently during the Broncos overtime loss to the LA Raiders on Sunday. During the first half, Gordon took a third-and-1 carry from the Las Vegas 5-yard line up the right side and fumbled, which was recovered by Denver behind the line of scrimmage, making it fourth down, with the ensuing field goal attempt was blocked. Speaking on Gordon, Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said after the game: “In that situation, he’s got to be smart with it and he can’t fumble. He knows that. You just can’t do that. It’s unacceptable. We’ve got to find a way to get the ball in the end zone.”

Gordon has been with the Broncos since 2020 when he signed a two-year deal with that club that spring. Before this season, he has rushed for at least 900 yards and eight touchdowns. Denver started the 2022 season with Gordon as their backup running back to Javonte Williams, but after Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury, Gordon took on the starting role in Week 5. Gordon has underperformed, averaging just 3.4 yards per carry and totaled 179 yards total on the ground. He’s also caught 17 passes for 174 yards. Through 10 games played, Gordon has fumbled five times (two lost).

NY Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson out 4-6 weeks with MCL sprain

The New York Giants will be without their top cornerback, Adoree’ Jackson, for four to six weeks after suffering a knee injury while returning a punt during Sunday’s 31-18 loss against the Detroit Lions. After the game, Jackson was diagnosed with a MCL sprain.

When asked about it following the game, head coach Brian Daboll said, “Look, it’s football. Obviously, it was unfortunate.” The news of Jackson’s injury comes on the heels of Daboll announcing that rookie wideout Wan’Dale Robinson also suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday’s loss to Detroit. Not only will New York be down those two key players, but fellow corner Fabian Moreau left Sunday’s game with a rib injury, which has his status in doubt for Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchup against Dallas.

In 10 games played this season, Jackson has 51 tackles, seven pass breakups and one forced fumble.

The I Go Back Tour will kick off on Mar. 25 at Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania, and will criss-cross the country for a 21-date trek before wrapping up May 27 in Orange Beach, Ala.

American Express Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public beginning Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, Dec.1 at 10 p.m. local time. pre-sales for Chesney’s No Shoes Nation members to begin Nov. 28.

Neal Schon sues bandmate Jonathan Cain over Journey credit card

shutterstock_1344379343

Journey’s Neal Schon is suing bandmate Jonathan Cain, claiming he “improperly restricted” access to financial documents relating to Journey’s American Express card. Schon’s lawyers argued in court documents filed in Northern California’s Contra Costa County that “This action is brought to turn the lights on, so to speak, and obtain critical financial information Schon has been trying to obtain but has been denied”

Both Schon and Cain are joint owners, members and managers of Nomota, LLC, which was established around 1998 as the operating entity to handle Journey’s business dealings, with shared 50/50 ownership. In the lawsuit, Schon states he “has the right to access and control Nomota’s books and records” and have “unfetted access to Nomota’s records so that he can oversee and manage Nomota/Journey.” Cain later set up Nomota’s American Express account “without Schon’s consent or knowledge, with only Cain as the account holder.” The filing also says that “Schon has tried to avoid legal action, repeatedly requesting that Cain grant him access to the AMEX account. For many months, Cain and his representatives have represented that Schon would be granted access. But every time Schon contacted AMEX, AMEX informed him that he was still not authorized to access AMEX account records.”

Schon’s lawyers also make additional allegations about Cain that they say are detrimental to Journey’s continuing business. “Cain is interfering with Journey, refusing to respond to booking opportunities, blocking payment to band members, crew and vendors, refusing to execute necessary operating documents, and in other ways as well,” the filing claims. “Cain has obstructed Schon from viewing expenses incurred by Cain and his touring party on band tours .. Cain has further refused to deal with critical, time-sensitive touring contracts for Journey’s 2023 tour and ensure payment for band members and crew, who Cain contends are ‘non-essential … Schon believes those band and crew who are crucial to the band’s success should be paid. Cain’s conduct is inexplicable.”

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 3.
